Well tomorrow is the big day! Never did I think I would be at Mayo for heart surgery. The surgery is estimated to take 6-12 hours. Thank you to everyone once again for the outpouring of support, love, prayers and generous donations towards expenses. Love you all & I will be back to my old tricks before we know it! ? ?
